Climbing Mountains
I love this quote, but after my online search, the author remains unknown.
In our nearly 36 years together, Reg and I have climbed a lot of mountains. As a couple, we’ve climbed our share of emotional mountains. In more recent years we’ve struggled with our abilities to climb physical peaks on long distance hiking trails.
The key to our success, I believe, is that one of us always sings…metaphorically speaking of course!

Driving the PCH
We chose the long way home after a visit with my Dad (for his 93rd birthday). Highway 1, California’s Pacific Coast Highway, stretches the length of the state and offers some of the most stunning coastal views you’ll find anywhere. We drove the section from San Luis Obispo to Monterey, taking advantage of a few of the roadside stops along the way.
Even our liquor store deli sandwiches tasted gourmet with a view like this.
Spectacular views come into focus around every bend of the Pacific Coast Highway.
When the views open up to the east, they are every bit as beautiful as the scenes across the Pacific.
It’s not easy to keep cars moving along this highway. Roadwork continues along parts of the road.
A trip to California is not complete without a drive up the iconic Pacific Coast Highway.
Almost there…

2018 is a record year for Carryoncouple
Carryoncouple thanks you for helping our blog travel to new territory in 2018. Our site has recorded nearly 5,300 views this year, surpassing our record from 2013, when we walked the Camino de Santiago. Your interest in our Way of St. Francis trek this spring exceeded all our other trips, including 181 in one day.
Since our kickoff in 2012, carryoncouple.com has recorded more than 25,000 views in 119 countries, led by the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and Italy. We await someone in Antarctica to extend our reach to every continent.
What is our most popular post? It comes from our 2012 visit to Verona, Italy. Pictured above, our post about the Basilica di San Zeno still attracts views and has been seen nearly 700 times.
Here’s to Word Press, to nearly 400 followers, and to many more adventures!

An Ongoing Beacon For Photographers And History Buffs
The Coquille River Lighthouse was first lit in 1896 and continued to guide ships to safety off the coast of Bandon, Oregon until it was decommissioned in 1939.Bullard Beach State Park provides the starting point for a brisk 5+ mile round trip walk to the lighthouse. You’ll find plenty of opportunity for beach access along the way. Several parking lots are available those less adventurous.
These days the lighthouse opens to provide a glimpse into the past…a brief history lesson for visitors, campers and history buffs. It also serves as inspiration (for photographers) from either shore of the Coquille River.
Happy New Year
As a New Year dawns, we wish our family, friends and followers a peaceful and happy 2018.
